SECTION I - POLICY AND PURPOSE

SECTION III — FINDINGS
The Board of Directors of the South Tahoe Public Utility District, El Dorado County,
State of California, makes the following findings:
1. The Board finds that the current economic climate may be adversely impacting
new development within the District's boundaries.
2. The Administrative Code presently provides for an increase in the District's water
capacity charge, to take place on January 1 of each year through 2011, and that such an increase
is scheduled to occur on January 1, 2010.
3. The Board finds that allowing the scheduled January 1, 2010, water capacity
charge increase could contribute to the adverse impacts on development within the District's
boundaries by increasing the costs of new development.
